Hi!

I have a pretty cheap "gaming" PC, and I'm looking for a GPU upgrade.

I have some difficulties to find a decent one for a decent price.

My actual specs are:

M-Board: Intel DQ35JOE

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400

Case: Corsair Carbide 275R

PSU: EVGA 450W BR 

GPU: NVidia GT 710 (Yep, that's why I need a upgrade)

 

I have a around 200$ (CAD currency) budget and my PSU can handle up to two 8-pin PCI-E connectors.

I have also a single PCI-E x16 2.0 slot on my m-board

 

I need a GPU with similar specs as the NVidia GTX 780.

 

Thanks for your answers!

Instead of wasting money on a GPU, I think it's probably best for you to save up for a new PC.

With a core 2 quad, the GTX 950 or 760 is the best I'd shoot for, maybe 960.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
